Previous report
The indenture governing our 5% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due in 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) contains restrictions and other provisions regarding events of default that may make it more difficult to execute our strategy or to effectively compete, or that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
Previous report
Subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, the indenture governing the 2028 Notes (the “2028 Indenture”) restricts our ability to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, other than certain forms of permitted debt, (ii) issue any preferred equity interests, (iii) create or permit to exist any lien on any property, other than certain limited forms of permitted encumbrances, (iv) merge, amalgamate, consolidate or sell all or substantially all assets, (v) make or hold any investment, other than certain forms of permitted investments, (vi) consummate certain asset sales, (vii) pay any dividend or other distribution with respect to any of our capital stock, (viii) make any payment (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of any of our capital stock or any option, warrant or other right to acquire any such capital stock, (ix) dispose or transfer intellectual property that is material to our business or (x) effect any transaction that would result in an adjustment to the conversion price of the 2028 Notes to an amount less than $2.05 per share of common stock. These restrictions, and others set forth in the 2028 Indenture as discussed below, may make it difficult to successfully execute our business strategy or effectively compete with others that are not similarly restricted.
Previous report
The 2028 Indenture also provides that a number of events will constitute an event of default, including, among other things, (i) a failure to pay interest or any other amount due on the 2028 Notes, (ii) a failure to pay the principal of the 2028 Notes when due at maturity, upon any required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, (iii) a failure to comply with our obligations to convert the 2028 Notes in accordance with the 2028 Indenture upon exercise of a holder’s conversion right within five business days, (iv) any breach of our covenants with respect to consummating restricted consolidations, mergers, or other sale transactions, (v) the failure to comply with any of our other agreements contained in the 2028 Indenture or the 2028 Notes (vi) a failure by us to pay final legal, arbitral or other judgments aggregating $1 million or more, and (vii) certain events of liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy or insolvency.
Previous report
If an event of default occurs and is continuing, additional interest will accrue on the 2028 Notes at a rate of 2% per annum of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes outstanding as of the occurrence of the event of default. We will also be required to pay additional interest of up to 0.50% per annum if (x) we fail to timely make certain required filings with the SEC, until such filings are made, or (y) the 2028 Notes are not otherwise freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. If we fail to pay interest on the 2028 Notes for 30 days or the principal of the 2028 Notes when due, the trustee has the right to declare all the 2028 Notes to be due and payable immediately. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, all outstanding 2028 Notes will become due and payable immediately. Any such events of default or other acceleration of, or any increase in the amounts otherwise payable on, our debt could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, particularly if we are unable to negotiate mutually acceptable terms with the holders of the 2028 Notes or if alternate funding is not available to us. Furthermore, if we are unable to repay the 2028 Notes upon an acceleration or otherwise, we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
Previous report
In the event of certain non-ordinary course asset sales, including sales of certain intellectual property or spectrum licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to us or our subsidiaries, we must make a mandatory repurchase offer for a portion of the 2028 Notes outstanding with the proceeds of such sale, at a price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes subject to such repurchase, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the repurchase, subject to certain thresholds and limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture.
Previous report
In addition, in the event of a Fundamental Change (as defined in the 2028 Indenture), each holder has the right, at such holder’s option and subject to the limitations set forth in the 2028 Indenture, to require us to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s 2028 Notes in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of 2028 Notes held, plus all accrued and unpaid interest to such date and (ii) the consideration each holder of 2028 Notes would have received if such holder had converted the 2028 Notes into our common stock immediately prior to such Fundamental Change.

Previous wording
We have incurred significant losses since inception. For thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we incurred net losses of $10.6 million and $58.6 million, respectively. We do not expect to be profitable or cash flow positive in the near future. Furthermore, any expansion of our services, including the deployment of our NextGen technology, will result in increased operating costs. As a result, our losses are expected to continue, and we may not achieve profitability as anticipated, or at all.

Previous wording
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, as of March 31, 2026,136,059,569 shares were outstanding, 12,514,606 shares were reserved for future issuance under our stock incentive plan and 52,265,195 shares were issuable upon the exercise of warrants and conversion of debt. As a result, we have a large number of shares of common stock that are authorized for issuance and are not outstanding or otherwise reserved and could be issued at the discretion of our board of directors (our “Board”) or through exercise of options and warrants or conversion of debt. We expect to seek additional financing in the future in order to fund our operations, and if we issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into common stock, our existing stockholders will be diluted. Our Board may also choose to issue shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for our common stock to acquire assets, corporations or companies, for compensation to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors, to fund capital expenditures and to enter into strategic partnerships. Additionally, shares of common stock could be issued for anti-takeover purposes or to delay or prevent changes in control or management of the Company. Our Board may determine to issue shares of our common stock on terms that our stockholders do not believe enhance stockholder value, or that may ultimately have an adverse (including a material adverse) effect on our business or the trading price of our common stock. Further, the issuance of any such shares may cause further dilution to the ownership interest of our current stockholders, reduce the book value per share of our common stock and may contribute to a reduction in the market price for our common stock.

Certain of our stockholders own a significant percentage of our outstanding capital stock. As of March 31, 2026, our holders of 5% or more of our capital stock and their respective affiliates beneficially owned approximately 40% of our outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, certain stockholders may have significant influence over our affairs due to their substantial stock ownership and, in one case, a position on our Board. For example, these stockholders may be able to control or influence elections of directors, amendments of our organizational documents, or the approval of any merger, sale of assets or our business, or other major corporate transaction. The concentrated ownership of our common stock may also cause additional volatility as fewer of our shares may be traded on a daily basis. Furthermore, any significant sale of common stock by any of these holders could have an adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may prevent or discourage unsolicited acquisition proposals or offers for our common stock that some of our stockholders may believe is in their best interest.

The continued operation and expansion of our business will require substantial funding. We have paid no cash dividends on any of our capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our available cash to fund the development and growth of our business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions (such as those of the 2028 Indenture), restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any return to stockholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock, which may never occur.

We have a significant number of outstanding warrants for the purchase of common stock. Outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 18,749,960 shares of common stock became exercisable on November 27, 2021 in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement governing those securities.

(a Delaware special purpose acquisition company with which we consummated a business combination in 2021). The 4,034,790 private placement warrants have been registered pursuant to an effective registration statement. Each warrant entitles its holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on October 28, 2026, or earlier upon redemption of our common stock or our liquidation. To the extent warrants are exercised, additional shares of common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our then existing stockholders and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.
